About Bail in the San Fernando Valley
When a person is arrested and charged with a crime, he or she will face a specific legal procedure and court appearance called an arraignment. At this time, the defendant will be informed of the charges which he or she faces and will be asked to enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest. If the defendant enters a plea of not guilty, the court will determine whether the defendant should be released from jail until the trial begins. At times, it may take months or even years for a trial to actually begin, and a defendant may have the opportunity to spend this time out of jail by way of bail. In some cases, a defendant may be released on his or her own recognizance (without paying bail.)
Bail is an amount of money paid to the court in order to be released from custody. The defendant is basically promising to return for any and all court dates, and a failure to appear in court will result in the forfeiture of the entire bail amount to the court.

Unfortunately, bail may be set at an amount so high that the defendant has no chance of paying it in order to be released. In these situations, a San Fernando Valley Bail Bondsman can assist a defendant in obtaining a Bail Bond. A Criminal Bail Bond can usually be secured with a deposit of approximately 10% of the entire bail amount.
